Mugwump's Fish World

My wife is mad at me. It seems I can't find a good spot to git rid of old micro worm cultures. I tried to put them in the garbage outside. it stunk up the neighbor hood. So the next time i figured I would dump them in the garbage disposal. She really didn't like that one at all.
I think I'm getting use to the smell it didn't seem that bad to me.

How water, and rinse the container and sink with mild soapy water.....rinse well  ;D....and don't let her watch....LOL

You might try a composting them.
I put mine down a sink without a garbage disposal. An alternative might be the toilet (with the bathroom fan on).

I have been growing microworms (Walter worms actually) in relatively large amounts for many years now and have noticed that the cultures go through a series of different increasingly bad smells and increasingly difficult to clean up cultures. My cultures first smell like old sneakers (kind of yeasty), followed by a strong ammonia smell, followed by what I like to refer to as a dead body smell. The dead body smell cultures often have a fungus going and can get kind of hardened into a mass by the mycelia (sp?) (fungal filaments under the surface).

In a closed container the smell is somewhat contained but not during cleaning.
I just set up new cultures and get rid of cultures when they get ammonia smelling.

I have a friend who just throws a new layer of food on top of the old culture. This reduces the smell in the short run but to bottom layers get really nasty smelling and forms more of a mass that is more difficult to get down the drain.
